Re: Re: Which HA standard to use for first home?

Hi Duncan,

Bear in mind there is that the Z-Wave frequencies used in the US are
different to those in Europe/UK.   This is why we need a European
version of the Z-Troller for example.  You could import and use US
versions of Z-Wave modules (contra regulations) but then you have the
mains voltage/frequency,  plug style and the form factor if they replace
light switches/sockets as well as no CE approval.  Maybe there is a
European version of the Vera on the way , or that the hardware was built
dual standard ??
